| Reverse description | A lion advancing to the right in a powerful, striding posture, rendered with vigorous musculature and a detailed, shaggy mane; the tail curves upward and over the back. The control mark Theta (Θ) appears beneath the lion in the field. A horizontal groundline separates the lion from the exergual legend YEΛΗΤΩΝ, denoting the civic ethnic of Velia in the genitive plural, executed in clear archaic Greek lettering. |
